Sunday showdown awaits - That wraps up Super Saturday, with Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings picking up crucial wins at their respective home grounds. Now, the action shifts to a double-header Sunday, 12th April, starting with Gujarat Titans taking on Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Cricket Stadium at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT). It will be followed by a heavyweight clash as Royal Challengers Bengaluru face Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede, beginning at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). As always, you can join us early for the build-up to both matches. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Sanju Samson wins the award for his outstanding knock of 115* off 56. Sanju says that the century means a great deal to him personally. He speaks about the responsibility he felt after CSK put their trust in him through the trade, saying he was driven by a desire to put the team on track and repay that faith. He adds that while CSK is a new franchise for him, it has not felt that way at any point. Shares that the dressing room has been welcoming from the start, and he felt at home quickly. He is touched on the team's collective mindset as well, noting that even after three losses, the pre-match meeting lasted briefly. On the journey to the hundred, Samson says failing repeatedly taught him how to come back. Adds that in those moments, the mind works through whether to go harder or recalibrate the game plan entirely. Stresses on returning to basics, getting into a different mental zone, focusing on timing the ball and picking it up cleanly from the bowler's hand. He is quite delighted that everything clicked into place in this game. Samson is also full of praise for Ayush Mhatre, saying their partnership was crucial and that the youngster never looked like someone fresh out of the Under-19 setup. He describes him (Ayush) as calculative and composed beyond his years, which is a reflection of his real character. On his century celebration, Samson reveals that it was dedicated to Stephen Fleming. He admits how demanding it must be to lead a franchise for all these years and says he simply wanted to give something back to the man who has carried that responsibility.
The victorious skipper of Chennai Super Kings - Ruturaj Gaikwad says that he is really happy with the win. Adds that they have been batting well in the last few games, and it was good to score 212 when the surface was playing a bit slow. He praises Sanju's knock and also gives credit to Ayush Mhatre for the way he batted as well. Gaikwad mentions that they do not have the X-factor in the bowling, but they always discuss how to give that something extra in the field, save a few runs. Says that even in the last game, they got close, but one-two big overs cost them. He ends by acknowledging the Chennai fans, saying they always support them no matter what. He has received so many messages, and this is what makes this team special, with people just enjoying the game of cricket.
Presentation Time...
Time to hear from the man of the moment - Jamie Overton (4/18 in 4 overs) says he is very happy with the win and delighted to deliver it in front of the home crowd at Chepauk, describing it as a great place to play. On his bowling, Overton reflects that things had been feeling good since the Big Bash and that he had been hitting good pace consistently. He, though, admits that a couple of games had not gone his way, pointing specifically to the over against Tim David in the game against RCB. Accepts that these things happen in T20 cricket. He says that he was simply focused on bending his back, hitting his lengths, and taking wickets. On the key to bowling on that surface, Overton explains that the plan was to target the stumps throughout. He feels the pitch was a touch tacky, with a few balls jumping up, and says he tried to bring the batters forward and cut down on cross-batted strokes. On the injury scare, Overton is quite relaxed, confirming it was nothing more than a cramp. He admits that it was taking some time for him to get used to the heat, but is confident he will be fine.
The captain of Delhi Capitals - Axar Patel feels that they made a promising start in the chase, but were hurt by a cluster of wickets in the middle phase. He admits that the key differentiator between the two sides was the fielding. Says they let themselves down in that department. Credits the DC for the way they applied themselves. On what he made of CSK's total, he is all praise for his bowlers. Says that despite CSK losing just a couple of wickets, they still managed to restrict them to 212. Calls it a good pitch to bat on. Again reiterates that poor fielding made the difference in the end. When asked whether the pitch changed in the second inning, he details that it got slightly tougher for the CSK bowlers because of the dew factor, but credits them for bowling really well.
Overton's spell breaks DC's back - Chennai Super Kings will be pleased to get off the mark, though their bowling wasn't quite on point in the Powerplay. However, Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj pulled things back with a couple of quick wickets, before Jamie Overton and Gurjapneet Singh added to the damage to bring the game under control. Noor finally picked up his first wicket of the season but still looked a touch off. What really stood out, though, was CSK's attitude in the field, highlighted by a superb catch from Sarfaraz, which proved to be a key difference. On a good batting surface, Overton was exceptional, finishing with figures of 4/18 to almost single-handedly take the game away from DC, while Kamboj applied the finishing touches to wrap it up with a three-for.
Samson shines for CSK - Earlier in the game, CSK posted their second 200-plus first-innings total of the season, powered by Sanju Samson finally coming to the party for his new team with a smashing 115* off 56, bringing up his fourth IPL hundred in the process. He was well supported by a quick-fire fifty from Ayush Mhatre and a late blitz from Shivam Dube to push the total even further. Axar Patel was the only bowler for Delhi Capitals to pick up a wicket, with the other dismissal being a run-out, while Aqib Nabi was economical in his two overs, but apart from him, none of the bowlers managed to keep their economy under 9, with DC also spilling a few chances in the field, which only added to their woes.
Collapse after Powerplay push - Delhi Capitals got off the blocks quickly, with Nissanka once again leading the charge with a brisk 41 off 24, as the opening pair added 61 in no time, but both fell on that score. It soon slipped to 66/3 and then 76/4, putting them firmly on the back foot. The Protea pair of David Miller and Stubbs then consolidated with a crucial 45-run stand, but Miller fell at an inopportune moment, leaving his countryman to carry the fight alone. Ashutosh Sharma, the Impact Sub, chipped in with a few lusty blows but couldn’t stay long, leaving Stubbs to battle on. He did keep the hopes alive with a gritty half-century, but the target ultimately proved to be a bit too much.
CSK up and running at last - Chennai Super Kings have finally broken their duck, winning their first game of the season, and that too in front of their home fans, ending a run of six defeats at Chepauk. It's exactly what they needed to kickstart their campaign, and it also lifts them off the bottom of the table. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, suffer back-to-back defeats, and in both games, they’ll feel that had they done better in the small moments, things could have turned out very differently.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! And after a long wait, this gets the Super Kings on-board in this year's IPL. Anshul Kamboj bowls it at 132.8 kph, full and angling away, wide outside off. Ngidi reaches out and throws his hands at it, but only manages a thick outside edge that flies straight into the hands of Gurjapneet who is positioned at a straightish short third. Chepauk is up on its feet and the Men in Yellow are delighted to bits. CSK BEAT DC BY 23 RUNS!

Anshul Kamboj To Kuldeep Yadav OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Kuldeep bites the dust as well. Full in length and on the middle stump. Kuldeep steps out and tries to go inside out over extra cover but mishits it completely in the air. Brevis, moving swiftly to his right from cover, pouches it safely. CSK are just 1 wicket away from winning.
Last over coming up now, 28 required. It will be bowled by Anshul Kamboj. Also, CSK have been penalised for slow over rate and will have to keep an extra fielder inside the circle.

DC's last remaining hope is gone now. Looks like the Delhi camp is not happy with something here. Simon Doull mentions on air that just before the wicket ball, Stubbs had asked for a glove change, but the umpires denied his request. Also, Lungi Ngidi comes out to the middle now.

Jamie Overton To Tristan Stubbs OUT!
OUT! MISCUED AND GONE! That should be the game for CSK. Wicket number 4 for Overton. He is fired up and understandably so. Cannoned in on a fuller length, around off. Tristan Stubbs tries to muscle it over mid off, but gets the ball sliced instead. Airs it toward mid off where Noor Ahmad backtracks a bit and takes a fine catch with a reverse cup in front of his face. A fighting knock from Stubbs comes to an end. Delhi Capitals are 183/8, needing 30 more runs from 9 balls.

Jamie Overton To Tristan Stubbs
Good review! Jamie Overton executes this one to perfection, serves it full and outside off, but just inside the tramline. Tristan Stubbs throws his bat at it but misses. It is called a wide, but Overton straightaway signals his skipper to take the review. The Ball Tracking shows that some part of the ball is inside the wide guideline. The on-field call is changed.

FIFTY FOR STUBBS! An inning of class and controlled aggression from the South African. Until he is there, the Capitals will still believe. Full and straight on middle. Tristan Stubbs chips it down the ground, between long off and long on for a couple of runs. Overton gets across to his right and gets rid of the ball, but seems to have clutched his back a bit.

Jamie Overton To Auqib Nabi OUT!
OUT! MISTIMED AND GONE! Hosein did make it difficult for himself, but importantly, he held onto that one. Express pace and full on off stump. Nabi clears the front leg and swings hard, but only manages a top edge. That balloons high into the night sky above extra cover. Hosein is stationed inside the ring and calls for it early, with Ruturaj sauntering over from mid off as well. The ball swerves under the lights and Hosein takes it over his head, falling backwards in the process. The Super Kings are firmly ahead now as Overton has his third wicket of the night. Delhi Capitals are 154/7, needing 59 more from 26 balls.

STRATEGIC BREAK! Just when this partnership was gathering steam, Noor struck at a crucial moment for CSK and got onboard in this IPL. The Delhi Capitals still require 64 runs from 31 balls, but they have only Stubbs as a pure batter now, with one end exposed. The Super Kings look in control as Auqib Nabi makes his way out to the middle at number 8.

Noor Ahmad To Ashutosh Sharma OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Noor Ahmad has the last laugh, and this is also his first wicket of the season. He floats up a wrong 'un, full and keeps it outside off, turning it away a bit. Ashutosh Sharma once again moves to the leg side to repeat the dose but this time has to reach out for it a bit and due to the away spin, he ends up slicing it much squarer. It flies high in the air towards sweeper cover, where Anshul Kamboj runs in from the ropes and takes a good catch. DC are 149/6 now.

Shout for LBW, but turned down! Flatter, full and on the leg stump line. Ashutosh Sharma goes down for the reverse sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is a stifled appeal from Noor, but it is turned down. However, Ruturaj Gaikwad takes the review here. Well, the UltraEdge shows a spike when the ball is close to the bat, confirming an inside edge. No need to go further. CSK burn a review.

Jamie Overton To David Miller OUT!
OUT! BOWLED 'EM! A peach of a delivery from Jamie Overton. He lands this on a hard length from over the wicket, at 145.2 kph. This one lands on middle and leg and just jags back in a bit. David Miller stays in his crease and tries to play at it but it looks like he loses sight of the ball for a moment and also gets undone as the ball skids through. It beats the inside edge and hits the top of the leg stump. Miller has a couple of looks at the surface but he has to walk back here. DC lose half their side now, needing 92 more runs off 46 balls.

Fuller at the stumps. Stubbs presses forward and bunts it towards cover for a run. At halfway, DC are 91/4, needing 122 runs.

Gurjapneet Singh To Tristan Stubbs
SIX! A boundary after 24 balls for the Capitals. Slow and full, just outside off. Stubbs waits on it and dumps it crisply over long on for a six. That's a strong hit from the South African.

Gurjapneet Singh To Tristan Stubbs
And again! Had the throw hit, Miller would have been a goner. Back of a length outside off. Stubbs jabs it to extra cover and Miller is immediately hell-bent on the single, but Stubbs is going nowhere. Miller is left stranded halfway down the pitch, and had Akeal hit the stumps at the bowling end, it would have been curtains for him.

Gurjapneet Singh To David Miller
The slower one, full and on off. Miller walks forward a bit and taps it to Sarfaraz Khan at backward point. Khan fumbles to pick it up, and the ball rolls behind. There's a bit of miscommunication between the batters as well, but they decide to cross over. Stubbs has to dive to reach but Sarfaraz misses his shy at that end. A risky single.

Gurjapneet Singh To Tristan Stubbs
Just a bit of an away shape, fullish and outside off. Tristan Stubbs commits on the front foot and knocks it between mid off and short extra cover for a single.

Gurjapneet Singh To Tristan Stubbs
Short of a good length, angled across. Tristan Stubbs rises with the bounce and cuts it to backward point. Cannot get it past the fielder's dive to his left.
Strategic Break! An eventful first 9 overs in the chase, but Chennai Super Kings have their noses ahead at the moment. The first half belonged to the DC openers, as they started quickly, getting to 50 in just 3.5 overs. However, once KL Rahul departed, they suffered a big collapse, losing 3 more wickets for just 15 runs. Now, a lot depends on the South African duo of Tristan Stubbs and David Miller to get them out of this hole and put the chase back on track. Chennai Super Kings have done well to capitalise here, and their fielding has been top-notch, which is clearly making a difference in this game. But they will know that they need to break this pair quickly and cannot let them get set. Here is Gurjapneet Singh to bowl after the break.

Back-to-back failures for Sameer Rizvi. That brings Tristan Stubbs out to the middle now. Also, we will see some spin as the ball has been tossed to Noor Ahmad.

Jamie Overton To Sameer Rizvi OUT!
OUT! HIGH UP AND GONE! Overton with a massive wicket for his side. The short ball plan works in favor of the tall Englishman here. He digs in another bumper, a rib-tickler to call it best, on leg. Sameer Rizvi tries to use the pace and bounce to heave it over square leg, but gets the shot from the inner half and it spoons miles up in the night sky. Dewald Brevis keeps his eyes locked in at deep square leg and takes a good catch. He is not dropping those at all. The decibel levels go up again at Chepauk. The Capitals are crumbling under pressure. They are 76/4, needing 137 more runs from 72 balls.

FIVE WIDES! Way too short and it keeps taking off from the runway. Beats the leaping Samson and races behind to the fence.
61/0 becomes 66/3 for DC in the blink of an eye. David Miller is the next man in. Heartbreak in the last game, but he will be eager to make amends and take his side over the line in this one.

Gurjapneet Singh To Axar Patel OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT SPECTACULARLY! Sarfaraz Khan is off for a sprint across Chepauk. Kid you not, that was travelling at the rate of knots. Singh hits the deck really hard, and keeps it outside the off pole. Axar Patel hangs back in the crease and tries to square cut it past backward point, but cannot keep it along the ground. Hits it flat to the right of Sarfaraz Khan at the mentioned position. Khan reacts quickly and throws himself to the right with his hands stretched forward. Takes a fine, fine catch to dismiss the DC captain. Gurjapneet Singh starts off with a wicket and Delhi Capitals are 66/3, suddenly spiraling down.
Gurjapneet Singh has been introduced into the attack right after the Powerplay.

Anshul Kamboj To Pathum Nissanka OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Khaleel will be the most relieved man out in the park. Full length on middle, bowled with a scrambled seam and it angles in a bit as well. Nissanka picks out the shot early and looks to clear mid on, but he cannot get the timing right and ends up chipping it tamely to mid on. Dewald Brevis gets down low and takes a fine catch. Delhi Capitals are 61/2, chasing 213 runs.

Anshul Kamboj To Pathum Nissanka
PUT DOWN! Could have been two in two for the Super Kings had Khaleel held on to that. Excellent effort though, trying to catch that to his non-dominant side. Over the wicket, good length angling into the leg stump. Nissanka flicks it straight and flat to short fine leg's right. The ball goes at a ballistic pace as Khaleel dives to his right, but puts it down.
That wicket will bring a huge relief for CSK. In walks Sameer Rizvi at number 3. Anshul Kamboj to bowl the final over of the Powerplay.

KL Rahul stays back and looks to heave it away but the ball just gets big on him here. It hits him high on the bat and lobs up towards mid-wicket, where Jamie Overton backtracks a bit and takes a good catch. Rahul is disappointed with himself, but has to walk back. DC are 61/1.

Khaleel Ahmed To Pathum Nissanka
Incredible effort in the deep! Short of a length and on middle, Pathum Nissanka once again goes for the pull shot and connects well too. It looks to be going over the deep backward square leg fence. However, Noor Ahmad runs to his right and leaps in the air, hanging there for a split second. He gets both his hands up and flicks the ball back inside as he knows he is going to fall over the ropes. Saves four runs for his team.

Touch fuller and on middle, Pathum Nissanka backs away and heaves it over mid-wicket, but not from the middle of the bat. Jamie Overton in the deep runs to his left and slides to push the ball back inside and does well to lift his back leg up to not touch the ropes. Saves a couple of runs for his team.
